Custom 404 laravel - php

Question

If we just create a 404.blade.php page in resources/views/error it will work fine, but Auth() won't work on 404 page, to solve that if we follow the solution available on stackoverflow the Laravel auth errors will stop working. I use the following solution to do the work.

Answer 1

Create custom view
resources/views/errors/404.blade.php
in route.php
Route::any('{catchall}', 'PageController#notfound')->where('catchall', '.*');
create PageController and add this function
public function notfound()
{
return view('errors.404');
}

Answer 2

For Laravel 5.6 and later, you can use fallback in your routes\web.php:
Route::fallback('MyController#show404');
It works as an "catch all"-route.
See docs here.

Answer 3

Write below code in your Exceptions/Handler.php
if($this->isHttpException($exception)){
if(view()->exists('errors.'.$exception->getStatusCode())){
$code = array('status'=>$exception->getStatusCode());
return response()->view('errors.404',compact('code'));
}
}
Now create a new file in your view i.e errors/404;
Now in code array you can pass dynamic values

Answer 4

Not sure if this will help. Laravel has a PHP artisan command to publish error pages. Laravel Custom HTTP Error Pages
After you run this artisan command use Route:fallback() method as #KFoobar suggested. If you use a closure function, no need to use a controller. Make sure to add the below route at the ends of your routes file.
//Fallback/Catchall Route
Route::fallback(function () {
return view('errors.layout');
});
